חלקה הראשון של התוכנית יהיה מיועד לגרעין נבחר ומצומצם של תלמידי מכיתה י"א, אשר ישתתפו בשישה מפגשי לימוד, במהלכם הם יהיו שותפים לבניית התוכן של התיקון, והם גם ישמשו כמנחים של התיקון עבור חבריהם לשכבה.

Tikkun
Explanation:
Now that you posted a later question about Hoshanna Rabba, I wonder if this is also regarding that night. If so, then it refers to "Tikkun Leil Hoshanna Rabba", staying up all night learning Torah on the night of Hoshanna Rabba (the last day of Sukkot when the final judgment is handed down). I would leave it as Tikkun or Tikkun Leil Hoshanna Rabba, with a footnote.
